Learn to make $200 a day trading MICRO contracts

Mark Sear • Feb 24, 2021

Another $250 trading micro contracts

The video (below) is actually the end of the trades we put in play during the first thirty minutes of the session.  There isn't a commentary as the mic failed, but you can see these are live trades (not SIM) - the colour of the Ninja screen is the give away here.  Trading the micros allows you to think in a professional way about the markets.  It allows you to think mainly about zone trading - which is what banks do. 


The issue many smaller traders have (and we count ourselves as such) with the current markets is they are super volatile IN PRICE TERMS.  A 10 point move on the NQ can happen in an instant - and on mini that $200.  That often means you simply have to take 20 point stops or even more.  When people say you can take 3-4 point stops on the NQ .... thats a recipe for just losing money.


How many times have you taken a trade, "known" where that trade was going to get to .... only to be stopped out as it reverses .... then takes off only to go to your original target?  Yup,  Many times right?


Trading the zones and using micros are a good way of letting you trade confidently, simply and win on many many more occasions.  Inteligex perfectly support zonal trading and micros.  And we trade them every day live in our education room.  This is a resource that turns our  members from novice traders to traders that regularly make $200+ per day ... trading micro contracts.


Today we make $255.50 trading the micros.  A skill you could easily learn in 12 weeks.
